Home Made Punch & Die Set


Recommended Posts

Model Day,

Please help me to see how it works.

- You put the piece of white plastic you want to punch between the clear piece and the aluminum base?

- You put the end of the drill through the hole in the clear piece so it rests

on top of the white styrene plastic you want to punch.

- You hit the drill bit head.

- This cuts through the white styrene plastic?

Thanks in advance

Thanks ModelDay.

I just had a hard time believing that the end

of the drill bit can cut through the white styrene when

the white styrene is resting on top of the aluminum

base.

I can imagine the drill making a dent in the white

styrene.

Guess I'll have to try it.

There are holes drilled through the aluminium base, so the drill slides through the hole in the acrylic sheet, pushing the white styrene through the hole in the aluminium base, creating a styrene disc.

Really really nice Modelday, and with the demise of Waldron DIY is the only game in town now. You did a great job.

Actually, Waldron was bought by Roll Models and they are continuing the line.

But these home-made ones are a good idea, especially if you can't afford the "Waldron" punches.
